The Problems with Company Trailers
Cordova, TN; July 9, in the year of our Lord 2018--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is answering a request question. Why
doesn’t Family Friendly Gaming publish company trailers like
they used to many years ago? There are multiple answers to that
question. Each and every single answer is viable, important, and
part of why we rarely do that anymore. The main reasons are they
monetize videos on our channel, the trailers are just ads, and
trailers result in few views. Family Friendly Gaming started
doing original videos in September of 2013. Our Youtube channel
has exploded. We did company trailers two years prior and
reached hardly anybody. Seems like a no brainer in that regard
alone.
One of the most disgusting things about company trailers is
companies who begged us to publish their trailers on our Youtube
channel, and then these companies monetized the videos. They
were only using us to make money for themselves. They had no
thought to the costs to us. They had no appreciation for our
hard work. They refused to share any of the money made off of
the product. Instead we were just dollar signs to them. That
kind of greed turns our stomachs here at Family Friendly Gaming.
How dare they treat us like their slaves. How dare they act like
we are not supposed to get paid for our hard work.
It bothers me that these companies are sending out advertisement
videos and calling them trailers. That is enough of a problem if
you know what I mean. What makes it even worse is they want us
to spend our time and money publishing these videos on our
Youtube channel for free. I have seen videos from companies that
were run on television stations. Those exact companies paid the
TV stations to run those videos. Even though we have a larger
reach than those TV stations we were expected to run those same
videos for free. What are we chopped liver? We should get paid
for those advertisement videos just like the TV stations.
As you can see Family Friendly Gaming has valid reasons for not
running these trailers on our website, and Youtube channel. Some
other reasons are: plenty of other channels run the trailers,
too often these companies are trying to bypass us to have
viewers go directly to them, and we do not have the time or
money to run their unpaid advertisements. Family Friendly Gaming
is open to receiving payments to run these advertisements.
Otherwise we see no good reasons to run the company trailers. Do
you agree? Do you disagree? Fire off an email, tweet, or post in
a response.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
God bless,
